Short Term Incentives

Famous quotes containing the words short, term and/or incentives:

    O harmless Death! whom still the valiant brave,
    The wise expect, the sorrowful invite,
    And all the good embrace, who know the grave
    A short dark passage to eternal light.
    Sir William Davenant (1606–1668)

    Children, I grant, should be innocent; but when the epithet is applied to men, or women, it is but a civil term for weakness.
    Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)

    Perestroika basically is creating material incentives for the individual. Some of the comrades deny that, but I can’t see it any other way. In that sense human nature kinda goes backwards. It’s a step backwards. You have to realize the people weren’t quite ready for a socialist production system.
    Gus Hall (b. 1910)
